Don't know that one Dexter.

Love tracks, setbacks
All can come back
Pick up on the fact
Take it in stride
Love and devotion
Don't confide
It's the tracks of lost emotion
70s

@dexterslockedintheshedagain

No idea for any of the lyrics.

Nobody got my number 3? Any takers?

3.Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts you've locked away
When tomorrow comes you'll wish
You had today

I ALSO LOVE CHEESECAKE. I'll fight you for that Rogue. Proper 'tops off in the brambles' fight, aye

eyes dexter worriedly What does tops off in the brambles mean?

No it's not that one. Close though 🤪

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 02/05/2021 09:42

Rogue, that's a serious fight. When the stakes (or the cheeses) are high.

Yes, it is indeed Strawberry Switchblade! Well done ! Grin

Honeyroar · 02/05/2021 10:21

I think I need a barrel of wine to understand what went in last night!

Cheesecake? Is there any cheese left in the world??

Not sure what the plan is re savoury stuff yet. Originally it was toasties and home made soup, but it would need two people working to do that. When we did the trial I was on the coffee machine all day without much of a pause, so we had to rethink a little. Ideally we would start with cakes, pastries, ice cream and milkshakes for summer, then reassess.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 02/05/2021 10:58

Honey, how about Dexys Midnight Dumplings? Or Dexters Devils Food Cake?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/05/2021 11:12

Morning all. Rogue, no not the streets. Think comedy.

Honey that sounds good to start with. Mr Whippy or scoop?

Could you pre prepare panini's & just whack them into a press when ordered? Gives you a warm savoury option without too much faff.

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame

Carnage, do you ever actually sleep?
Not much no, unfortunately. I’m a light sleeper then wake up in between. It’s been like this since childhood. I would kill for a proper nights sleep ..

Little tubs of locally made ice cream.

Yes possibly. My friend has a similar trailer about 10 miles away and she’s started doing roasted flatbreads, which toast quicker. Another thought is a local firm does lovely individual artisan pies and quiches... The overall aim is easy to store, quick to prep, and can be served in a paper bag food.

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame - oh no, how has he changed?

Are you planning on meal deals, say, a panini/bacon muffin and a coffee, or a (very large) slice of apple pie/cheesecake, and a cappuccino? I will need to walk very fast to burn it off 😁😁

sniffs disdainfully dexter, I shall sully neither my hands nor my reputation over a dairylea dunker.

You're welcome to it.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/05/2021 12:45

Honey, I think all your ideas sound fab. I'm so sure this is going to be a great thing for you. Exhausting, I'm sure, but rewarding too.

Carnage, I really feel for you. Sleep deprivation is horrendous

I like the cut of your jib, custard

I will do you the honour of adding you to my spreadsheet

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/05/2021 12:48

Coffee, I absolutely can not think what your lyric might be

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/05/2021 12:52

P.s. custard, when I saw SP 2 summers ago, I spent quite an embarrassing amount of time searching the stage (with my eyes, no actual body search involved) looking for him, not understanding who the old fat bloke with the beard and the greying dark hair was or why he was the main person displayed on the screens!
He'd been at the sun-on back in the 80s. Who knew!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/05/2021 12:52

Sun-in not on.
Doh!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/05/2021 13:02

Rogue it is one of my guilty pleasures 😁

The wonderful Victoria Wood, Barry and Freda. Here's a few verses

Freda and Barry sat one night
The sky was clear, the stars were bright
The wind was soft, the moon was up
Freda drained her cocoa cup.
She licked her lips she felt sublime!
She switched off Gardener's Question Time
Barry Cringed in fear and dread
As Freda Grabbed his tie and said:

Let's do it, let's do it, do it while the mood is right!
I'm feeling, appealing,
I've really got an appetite.
I'm on fire
With desire-
I could handle half the tennors in a male voice choir.
Let's do it, let's do it tonight!

But he said:
I can't do it, I can't do it,
I don't believe in too much sex
This fashion
For passion
Turns us into nervous wrecks.
No derision,
My decision:
I'd rather watch the Spinners on the television.
I can't do it, I can't do it tonight.

So she said
Let's do it, let's do it, do it till our hearts go boom
Go native,
Creative,
Living in the living room.
This folly
For jolly;
Bend me backwards on me hostess trolley!
Let's do it, let's do it tonight.

Honey your Coffee Cabin is sounding better with each post! Local ice cream & tantalising home bakes. I may have to make an excuse to drive down past 😁
